Hanging, Cross

This is a Hanging. It was designed by Lenore Tawney and woven by Lenore Tawney. It is dated 1964 and we acquired it in 1964. Its medium is linen and its technique is hand woven, two intercrossed plain weave structures (double cloth). It is a part of the Textiles department.

A rectangular weaving comprised of repeating rectangles in shades of brown, grey, and white. The focal point are the group of white rectangles in the center that are overlaid with brown and grey. Four smaller focal points of white rectangles occupy each corner of the weaving, again overlaid brown and grey.
